Question

So in Eclipse, I’m aware that if I have included sources in maven dependencies, as well as the JDK, I can open a type to see it’s implementation (Type Ctrl+T):

This is great for .java classes, but I don’t appear to have any quick shortcut to open resources other than java .classes. For instance, I do some Clojure and JRuby, which both .jar up their sources, which are generally just the sources themselves.

Is there a way to get Ctrl+T or the “Open Resource” equivalent (Ctrl+Shift+R) to open resources held in .jar files?

Answer 1

No. As per my knowledge, there are no keyboard shortcuts in eclipse to open resource file from jar. Only classes can be accessed by Ctrl+T. I always have to use package explorer to navigate contents in jar file.
